About Cuevas de Macarella
Cuevas de Macarella is a shallow Menorcan boat dive with easy access from Cala Galdana and a cave system close to the main dive area. The appeal is the mix of sheltered rock, a small air chamber, and enough open water around the caves to keep the site interesting for training or relaxed exploration. It is a beginner-friendly profile, but the cave section means you still want careful buoyancy, a calm sea, and a sensible line through the rock features. The site works best as a shallow cave outing rather than a deep or technical dive.
